Deadbeat / Blood in the Water

You haunt me, the way that you treat me, I dread
Shot through the heart, and left out for dead
Sometimes to do right, had to go left
Then, I got everybody at my head

God, please open your gates
God, heal me from hate
God, I'm done playing games
God, please help, I'm afraid

Here comes the devil, you left me outside
Asked for your help, but you left me to die
Walk through your meadows, with cliffs by my side
Satan approaching, I run for my life

I don't think that I'll make it out alive
Philly, jump off the cliff, spread your wings, fly
Philly, swerve in the left lane when you drive
Philly, I got you, no time for goodbyes

I walk through the night, with the shadow of death
Cried for your help, but got Satan's instead
Stayed up all night in that tub, while I bled
Just tryna face all the demons I dread
Your holy water's been poisoned with led
We need the blood, from the crown on your head
Everyone's dying, the street's painted red
Father we pray for better times ahead

I'm haunted, the way that you come in my life, help me out, and then leave
You tell me you love me, then leave in the night, if you my father, then you a deadbeat
It's hard to believe, in the holy ghost, when angel of death's, everywhere I see
Numbers still climbing, my grandpa dying, now he's with you, my Lord, God, almighty

God, please give me peace
Why is there pain in this life
What will happen when I die
Where will I go, how, when and why
Do you just roll the damn dice
What about those who you didn't meet
Those who died young and didn't believe
Those who grew up with different beliefs
God, I need answers and I need peace

We're praying for better days
Father, please, take our pain away
There's blood on the leaves, blood in the water
Plagued with disease, left out to be slaughtered
We're praying for better days
Father, please, take our pain away
There's blood on the leaves, blood in the water
Plagued with disease, left out to be slaughtered
